Hat-trick de Pinilla na vitória do Sporting em Braga

Braga 0 - 3 Sporting

SP. BRAGA - Paulo Santos; Abel, Nunes, Nem e Jorge Luiz; Andrés Madrid, Pedro Costa e Barroso; Cândido Costa, João Tomás e Wender. (Suplentes: Marco, Paulo Jorge, Jaime, Leonardo, Baha, Cesinha e Filipe).

SPORTING - Ricardo; Miguel Garcia, Enakarhire, Beto e Paíto; Custódio; João Moutinho, Hugo Viana e Tello; Niculae e Pinilla. (Suplentes: Nélson, Hugo, Pedro Barbosa, Douala, Mário Sérgio, Rochemback e Liedson).

Árbitros: Pedro Henriques, Aux - Hernâni Fernandes,João Tomatas

Este jogo revelava-se fundamental para ambas as equipas e ainda havia outros interessados no desfecho (Benfica e Porto, principalmente). No Braga registava-se as ausencias de João Alves e Vandinho, enquanto que no Sporting a constituição inicial da equipa foi uma verdadeira surpresa. Aos impedidos Rui Jorge e Sá Pinto, Peseiro adicionou as ausencias no onze inicial de Rochemback, Douala e Liedson, numa aposta de Peseiro de refrescar a equipa.

A primeira parte decorreu com equilibrio; apesar de ligeiro ascendente territorial sportinguista, a única verdadeira oportunidade de golo, desperdiçou-a Candido Costa ao permitir a defesa de Ricardo, quando se isolou após excelente jogada e assistência de Leonardo que logo aos 5' substituira Pedro Costa lesionado.

No início da 2ª. parte viu-se o árbitro perdoar um penalty ao Sporting por puxão na camisola de Tello sobre Wender, aos 49' e aos 52' finalmente o primeiro cartão amarelo do jogo para Niculae que introduziu a bola dentro da baliza do Braga com o braço e em clara carga sobre o guarda-redes - cargas sobre o guarda-redes que aliás já ocorrera anteriormente com Beto por duas vezes (sem cartão...).

Aos 54' Cesinha substitui Cândido Costa e Peseiro prepara também substituições estando Liedson a aquecer. É neste enquadramento que um cruzamento largo da esquerda de Tello "apanha" Pinilla totalmente desmarcado e a rematar de cabeça em bom estilo para o 1º. golo. Este golo constitui a fronteira entre duas partes distintas do jogo. Antes equilibrio e a antever-se muitas dificuldades para os leões ganharem. A partir do golo muitas facilidades e vitória certa, até porque o 2º. golo surgiu aos 62' outra vez por Pinilla a rematar de primeira após passe em desmarcação de João Moutinho.

Pinilla marcou ainda o 3º. na recarga a um remate de longe de Tello que Nuno Santos defendeu incompletamente, tornando-se sem dúvida no "homem do jogo".

Resultado concludente do Sporting mas que se começou a desenhar com o erro grave do árbitro ao não assinalar o penalty referido. Aliás a arbitragem boa tecnicamente (com aquela excepção) foi fraca disciplinarmente porque dentro dum estilo de ser pouco exigente, deixou de punir disciplinarmente vários lances merecedores de cartão amarelo, com benefício maior para os visitantes.È que as regras são para ser cumpridas em todos os jogos, por todos os jogadores e também por todos os árbitros...

E agora continuamos a ter o Sporting como um dos favoritos ao título de campeão, augurando-se no já vizinho Benfica-Sporting a decisão do título. No entretanto, o Porto espreita escorregadelas, mas para ser campeão é preciso que Benfica e Sporting percam pontos para além do jogo que disputam entre si.

A jornada completa-se amanhã com o Guimarães -Penafiel

Porto ganha ao Marítimo e continua a pressionar...

Porto 1 - 0 Marítimo

FC PORTO - Vítor Baía; Bosingwa, Jorge Costa, Pedro Emanuel e Leandro; Ibson, Costinha e Diego; Ricardo Quaresma, Hélder Postiga e McCarthy.

MARÍTIMO - Marcos; Briguel, Van der Gaag, Tonel e Eusébio; Wénio e Cheinho; Luís Filipe Silas e Manduca; Bibishkov.

Árbitro: António Costa (Setúbal)

Assistimos a uma excelente primeira parte com o Porto a evidenciar melhorias no desenvolvimento do seu futebol e a tomar a iniciativa do jogo mas com o Marítimo a responder bem e a jogar no campo todo. Marcos no 1º. quarto de hora teve duas excelentes intervenções a remates de McCarthy. Aos 25' o Marítimo teve um canto a seu favor e criou perigo sendo Leandro a afastar a bola que ia para a baliza. Logo a seguir o Porto chega ao golo após jogada de Hugo Postiga com remate deste para defesa incompleta de Marcos estando lá McCarthy para na recarga fazer o golo fácilmente. Todavia este golo surge dum grande equivoco do juiz auxiliar porque aquando do remata de Postiga Mccarthy estava claramente adiantado em posição de fora de jogo e foi essa posição ilegal que lhe permitiu a recarga.

Aos 33' o Porto através dum remate de longe de Diego chega ao golo que não valeu. O mesmo juiz assistente que deixa validar um golo falso marca agora um fora de jogo posicional quando o remate de Diego é de bem longe. Um grande coro de assobios e no minuto seguinte amarelo para Jorge Costa por pontapear Bibiskov, dando origem a um livre que podia ser perigoso mas que "não deu nada".

A segunda parte não foi tão interessante. O Marítimo equilibrou mais o jogo que podia ter o desfecho decidido se Diego converte uma grande penalidade aos 52' cometida(?) por Briguel (que viu amarelo) sobre Postiga. A falta existiu, mas o local pareceu fora da área. Marcos defendeu e o resultado continuava em aberto até porque o Marítimo disfrutou de uma soberana ocasião de empatar por Tonel de cabeça, com uma soberba defesa de Vítor Baía a garantir a vantagem.

As aspirações do Marítimo sofreram, porém, um revés com o 2º. amarelo e consequente expulsão a Briguel. Vieram as substituições e mais uns amarelos distribuidos para ambos os lados, mas o triunfo dos locais confirmou-se, sendo um resultado justo. Já se falou o suficiente da arbitragem para que se conclua sobre a categoria da sua "performance" principalmente do juiz assistente já referido que ainda errou mais ao assinalar um fora de jogo inexistente a Manduca na 2ª. parte.

Porto e especialmente Benfica aguardam agora o desfecho do grande jogo de amanhã Braga- Sporting colocando os "leões" em pressão porque só a vitória lhes interessa.

Nos outros jogos da jornada de hoje os resultados foram os seguintes:

Setúbal 2 - 0 Rio Ave (Rio Ave em queda com 2ª. derrota consecutiva)

Gil Vicente 1 -1 Leiria (empate que quase garante a permanencia aos gilistas)

Nacional 4 - 1 Estoril (Como se esperava depois daquele jogo frente ao Benfica, Estoril a caminho da 2ª. Divisão, sendo último da tabela)

Moreirense 0 -0 Beira Mar ( condenaram-se reciprocamente com este empate)

Benfica: Faltam três finais...

Benfica 1 - 0 Belenenses

BENFICA - Quim; Miguel, Luisão, Ricardo Rocha e Dos Santos; Petit e Manuel Fernandes; Geovanni, Nuno Assis e Simão; Nuno Gomes

BELENENSES - Marco Aurélio; Amaral, Wilson, Pelé e Sousa; Rui Ferreira; Neca, Andersson e José Pedro; Antchouet e Paulo Sérgio.

Árbitro: Mário Mendes (Coimbra)

Mais um jogo em que o Benfica teve muitas dificuldades para ganhar mas em que só a vitória do Benfica poderia ocorrer. Paradoxal mas verdadeiro. Ultimamente os jogos do Benfica são um ataque massivo duma equipa e outra com os 11 jogadores na grande área defensiva e imediações.

No fim da primeira parte Quim (regressou à baliza do Benfica) não tinha tocado na bola. O número de cantos era de 11-1 a favor do Benfica. Uma bola salva em cima da linha por Sousa com a bola a bater na barra. Duas ou três excelentes defesas de Marco Aurélio. Um penalty por marcar por falta de Neca sobre Nuno Gomes aos 24', mas 0 -0 no marcador.

Na segunda parte a situação não se alterou muito; aos 49' um grande pontapé de Petit vai de encontro à barra da baliza do Belenenses. A pressão encarnada ia-se diluindo e Trapattoni faz as substituições do costume começando por entrar Mantorras para o lugar de Nuno Assis (55') e aos 63' Karadas para o lugar de Nuno Gomes. No Belenenses sai Antchet para entrar Lourenço. Aos 66' mais uma jogada de ataque encarnado pareceu-nos de Ricardo Rocha a bola vai ao corpo de Amaral e depois ao braço. Não há dúvidas quanto a isso, dúvidas há sim quanto à intencionalidade. O árbitro assinalou o penalty que Simão converteu e pôs o Benfica a ganhar.

Depois do golo, então sim o jogo mudou. Carvalhal a perder faz entrar Ruben Amorim para o lugar do defesa Rui Ferreira e o Belenenses avançou no terreno. Um remate de longe de Paulo Sérguio quase atraiçoava Quim desatento, a defender para a frente com Lourenço a surgir para a recarga que fez muito ao lado, queixando-se de falta de Ricardo Rocha.

A arbitragem de Mário Mendes foi contestada pelo treinador do Belenenses falando de dois penalties (pretensamente um não marcado a favor e outro que não deveria ter sido marcado contra). Trapattoni nas declarações do fim do jogo lembrou-lhe o penalty da 1ª parte sobre Nuno Gomes, não marcado. Enfim...

Sporting com vantagem mínima.... Vai chegar?

Sporting 2 - 1 AZ Alkmaar

Aquém das expectativas...

Estranha formação inicial do Sporting com João Moutinho e Hugo Viana (dois criativos jogadores do meio-campo) no banco e Custódio a titular, o Sporting nunca conseguiu chegar aos calcanhares do jogo feito com o Newcastle. Após 10 minutos iniciais confusos com muitos passes falhados o Sporting começou a ter vantagem territorial, mas o ritmo (ou melhor a ausencia dele) não permitia criar ioportunidades claras. O Az Alkmaar demonstrou ser uma equipa bem preparada tecnicamente e mesmo sem quatro titulares habituais nunca foi subjugada pelos "leões".

Com surpresa o Az Alkmaar conseguiu abrir o marcador aos 38' com um cruzamneto da direita a ser finalizado rasteiro por Landzaat, com a bola a entrar junto ao poste sem hipóteses para Ricardo. Verdade se diga que este golo não produziu efeitos muito fortes na moral das equipas, porque com igual surpresa o Sporting chegou ao empate no minuto seguinte. Um remate de fora da +area de Pedro Barbosa sofreu um desvio na defesa ressaltando a bola para Douala desmarcado para rematar forte em diagonal batendo o guarda-redes holandês.

Com 1-1 ao intervalo Peseiro fez entrar no inicio da 2ª.parte Moutinho para o lugar de Pedro Barbosa. Nesta segunda parte o AZ ocupou mais o campo todo, tendo várias iniciativas de ataque e Van Galen teve o 1-2 nos pés, mas Ricardo com estes (os dele obviamente... :) ) evitou. Hugo Viana entrou aos 6o' para o lugar de Rochemback, já depois do árbitro ter admoestado com o 1º amarelo um jogador holandês.

A ausencia de oportunidades claras manteve-se, todavia e só Douala de vez em quando permitia uma aceleração. Rogério lesiona-se, prepara-se a entrada de Miguel Garcia, mas finalmente Peseiro arrisca e faz entrar Pinilla, recuando Sá Pinto para lateral direito (3-0 em substituições até à altura). Sai Nelisse entra Huysegens no Az. Mais um amarelo por mão na bola a Lindenbergh e não se saía da "murrinhice" até que Pinilla flecte da esquerda para o centro ganha algum espaço e remata de longe para ...Golo!!! 2-1. Finalmente ouve-se alguns "rugidos" dos "leões" (espectadores), mas o AZ volta a estar perto do 2-2 numa jogada de grande confusão na área do Sporting e em que várias tentativas de afastar a bola não resultaram. Segunda substituição nos holandeses e nova jogada de Pinilla no meio-campo, avança, troca com Liedson e isola-se para falhar o 3-1. Marca um grande golo, falha outro muito mais fácil.

A verdade é que o Sporting não mereceu mais que esta vantagem mínima. Falta a 2ª. parte desta eliminatória. Tudo está em aberto... mas não vai ser fácil.

A arbitragem esteve bem mas o primeiro amarelo demorou. Mostrou três aos holandeses um a Polga.

Peseiro justificou a equipa inicial com o cansaço de alguns jogadores, pretendendo ter alguns jogadores em forma, no banco. Que critério!

O que há em mim é sobretudo cansaço -

O que há em mim é sobretudo cansaço -
Não d'isto nem d'aquillo,
Nem sequer de tudo ou nada:
Cansaço assim mesmo, elle mesmo,
Cansaço.

A subtileza das sensações inuteis,
As paixões violentas por coisa nenhuma,
Os amores intensos por o supposto em alguem,
Essas coisas todas -
Essas e o que falta nellas eternamente -;
Tudo isso faz um cansaço,
Este cansaço,
Cansaço.

Ha sem duvida quem ame o infinito,
Ha sem duvida quem deseje o impossivel,
Ha sem duvida quem não queira nada -
Trez typos de idealistas, e eu nenhum d'elles:
Porque eu amo infinitamente o finito,
Porque eu desejo impossivelmente o possivel,
Porque quero tudo, ou um pouco mais, se puder ser,
Ou até se não puder ser...

E o resultado?
Para elles a vida vivida ou sonhada,
Para elles a media entre tudo e nada, isto é, isto...
Para mim só um grande, um profundo,
E, ah com que felicidade infecundo, cansaço,
Um supremissimo cansaço,
Issimo, issimo, issimo,
Cansaço...

Destaques históricos deste dia

Este dia 28 de Abril tem muito a ver com ditadores históricos. Senão vejamos:

1. No ano de 1889 nascia em Santa Comba Dão, António de Oliveira Salazar, lídimo representante do Estado Novo e da ditadura fascista em Portugal derrubada em 25 de Abril de 1974, então já comandada por Marcelo Caetano. Desde 1928 no Governo, primeiro como Ministro das Finanças e desde 1932 até 1968 como Presidente do Conselho, sucedendo-lhe o já referido Marcelo Caetano. Faleceu em Lisboa em 27 de Julho de 1970.
2. No ano de 1937 nascia Saddam Hussein. Teve papel preponderante no golpe que colocou no poder o partido Ba'ath em 1968 sob a Presidencia do General Ahmed Bakr, de quem era Vice-Presidente. Tomou a presidencia em 1979 até 2003.
3. No ano de 1945 Benito Mussolini, ("The Duce") o ditador italiano, fundador do fascismo, apanhado na véspera quando pretendia fugir para a Suiça, morria executado por resistentes italianos (n. 29 Jul 1883).

Resta-nos para compensar a recordação da tristeza e sofrimento que estas figuras sinistras da História Mundial provocaram, saudar e apreciar a beleza das celebridades /actrizes nascidas em 28 de Abril: Penelope Cruz - (no ano de 1974 em Madrid) e de Jessica Alba - ( em 1981, em Pomona, California, USA ).

Woody Woodpecker creator was born this day of the year 1899

Walter Lantz one of the best classic cartoon creators of all time, was born in New Rochelle, New York on April 27, 1899. He was head of his own animation studio. He introduced the first Technicolor cartoons and created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Andy Panda, Chilly Willy, Woody Woodpecker, Wally Walrus and the Beary Family.

When the new cartoon entitled "Knock knock" with Woody Woodpecker was presented the head of the Universal short subjects department, Bernie Kreiser, rejected it, telling Lantz that the woodpecker was the ugliest thing he had ever seen. "You're not paying for these pictures". The rest of the story we all can imagine in face of the sucess of this great crazy redheaded woodpecker. Walter Lantz built a multimillion-dollar cartoon empire and a respected worldwide reputation with the creation of this irascible woodpecker.

Lantz was honored in 1959 by the Los Angeles City Council as "one of America's most outstanding animated film cartoonists." In 1973, the international animation society, ASIFA/Hollywood, presented him with its Annie award.

Walter Lantz died in Burbank, California of heart failure, on March 22, 1994.

Dispersão - Mário de Sá-Carneiro

Perdi-me dentro de mim
Porque eu era labirinto,
E hoje, quando me sinto,
É com saudades de mim.

Passei pela minha vida
Um astro doido a sonhar.
Na ânsia de ultrapassar,
Nem dei pela minha vida...

Para mim é sempre ontem,
Não tenho amanhã nem hoje:
O tempo que aos outros foge
Cai sobre mim feito ontem.

(O Domingo de Paris
Lembra-me o desaparecido
Que sentia comovido
Os Domingos de Paris:

Porque um domingo é família,
É bem-estar, é singeleza,
E os que olham a beleza
Não têm bem-estar nem família).

O pobre moço das ânsias...
Tu, sim, tu eras alguém!
E foi por isso também
Que te abismaste nas ânsias.

A grande ave dourada
Bateu asas para os céus,
Mas fechou-se saciada
Ao ver que ganhava os céus.

Como se chora um amante,
Assim me choro a mim mesmo:
Eu fui amante inconstante
Que se traiu a si mesmo.

Não sinto o espaço que encerro
Nem as linhas que projecto:
Se me olho a um espelho, erro-
Não me acho no que projecto.

Regresso dentro de mim,
Mas nada me fala, nada!
Tenho a alma amortalhada,
Sequinha, dentro de mim.

Não perdi a minha alma,
Fiquei com ela, perdida.
Assim eu choro, da vida,
A morte da minha alma.

Saudosamente recordo
Uma gentil companheira
Que na minha vida inteira
Eu nunca vi...Mas recordo

A sua boca doirada
E o seu corpo esmaecido,
Em um hálito perdido
Que vem na tarde doirada.

(As minhas grandes saudades
São do que nunca enlacei.
Ai, como eu tenho saudades
Dos sonhos que não sonhei!...)

E sinto que a minha morte -
Minha dispersão total -
Existe lá longe, ao norte,
Numa grande capital.

Vejo o meu último dia
Pintado em rolos de fumo,
E todo azul-de-agonia
Em sombra e além me sumo.

Ternura feita saudade,
Eu beijo as minhas mãos brancas...
Sou amor e piedade
Em face dessas mãos brancas...

Tristes mãos longas e lindas
Que eram feitas para se dar...
Ninguém mas quis apertar...
Tristes mãos longas e lindas...

E tenho pena de mim,
Pobre menino ideal...
Que me faltou afinal?
Um elo? Um rastro?...Ai de mim!...

Desceu-me n'alma o crepúsculo;
Eu fui alguém que passou.
Serei, mas já não sou;
Não vivo, durmo o crepúsculo.

Álcool dum sono outonal
Me penetrou vagamente
A difundir-me dormente
Em uma bruma outonal.

Perdi a morte e a vida,
E louco, não enlouqueço...
A hora foge vivida,
Eu sigo-a mas permaneço...

...............
...............

Castelos desmantelados,
Leões alados sem juba...

Braga cedeu na candidatura ao título

Penafiel 1 - 0 Braga

No último jogo da Jornada 30 o Braga demonstrou o peso de ser candidato ao título e perdeu em Penafiel, resultado apenas possível porque o Sp. Braga falhou na finalização. Três grandes oportunidades de golo:
1- Uma ainda na primeira parte, com remate de Cândido Costa a fazer bater a bola em ambos os postes da baliza do Penafiel e com João Tomás a falhar escandalosamente o toque final com a baliza aberta. 2 - Boa jogada de Cândido Costa a rodar batendo o seu marcador directo, isola-se mas remata ao lado. 3 - Já no último lance do jogo, livre contra o Penafiel e Nem a surgir a rematar de cabeça para uma defesa com os pés do guarda-redes penafidelense.

Mas não se julgue que o Penafiel foi dominado. Nada disso, jogou no campo todo e na 2ª parte houve períodos em que teve até ligeiro ascendente, tendo em Weslei um jogador muito perigoso. Curiosamente foi na sequência duma jogada de quase golo de Wesley, salva por Nem para canto que na marcação deste surgiu o golo por N'Doye de cabeça livre de marcação aos 76'.

A arbitragem de João Ferreira esteve em bom plano.

Porto vence em Aveiro quase no fim...

Beira Mar 0 - 1 Porto

Baía e Quaresma na chave do resultado

Beira-Mar: Srnicek; Ricardo, Alcaraz, Ricardo Silva e Tininho; Ahmada, Beto, Sandro Gaucho e Rui Lima; Tanque Silva e McPhee.

FC Porto: Vítor Baía; Bosingwa, Ricardo Costa, Pedro Emanuel e Leandro; Diego, Costinha, Ibson e Ricardo Quaresma; Hélder Postiga e Benni McCarthy.

Árbitros: Duarte Gomes, Aux - José Lima, José Ramalho

O Porto teve um ligeiro ascendente na primeira parte do jogo disfrutando aos 11' de uma boa oportunidade por Postiga que se isolou mas perante a saída de Srnicek perdeu ângulo e rematou ao lado. Aos 22' Rui Lima viu o amarelo já depois de aos 6' ter acontecido o mesmo a Ricardo.

O jogo espraiava-se pelo campo todo, o que até se compreende porque o empate não serve para qualquer das equipas. Porém, ao intervalo era o resultado lógica face à quase ausencia de oportunidades.

A segunda parte começa num tom mais interessante, mais rápido. Aos 48' Pedro Emanuel vê amarelo. Aos 61' foi Diego que viu amarelo por ter simulado um penalty na opinião do árbitro. O Porto carrega mais com Diego em bom plano, mas com McCarthy "ausente". Por isso não admira a sua substituição por Luís Fabiano aos 72'. Entre os 70 e os 80 o Beira Mar teve duas grandes oportunidades de golo. McPhee pela direita ganha vantagem, tira um defesa, com uma excelente simulação e faz uma assistencia para o remate forte de Beto, mas Baía evita o golo que se prenunciava. Pouco depois pela esquerda Tanque Silva isola-se remata para defesa de Baía a bola fica novamente à disposição de Tanque Silva atira para a baliza (sem Baía) mas corta Ricardo Costa. Foi a altura determinante do jogo que merecia golos. O jogo partia-se com a vontade das equipas ganharem, mas a capacidade do Porto era maior e o Porto marcou aos 90' com um grande golo de Quaresma, a rematar de trivela ao 2º poste sem hipóteses para Scrnicek.Antes Luis Fabiano havia atirado ao poste num remate de angulo difícil que sofreu um desvio dum defensor. O Porto ganhava um jogo difícil e ainda mantém candidatura ao título a quatro jogos do fim.

O árbitro terá perdoado um penalty a Srnicek (no lance com Diego) e ficaram amarelos no bolso em lances que os justificavam: Ricardo Costa e Alcaraz (este último em lance em que deu a lei da vantagem, mas em que devia ter agido disciplinarmente).

O Campeonato está ao rubro e tanto se é candidato ao título como se pode ficar fora do apuramento para a Liga dos Campeões.

Nos outros jogos da jornada 30, disputados hoje obtiveram-se:

União de Leiria 1 - 0 Nacional
